Window tint

Been thinking about having my windows tinted but don't want the "black" look. Any suggestions as to type & color?

Why don't you want the "black" look. What is the color of your Max?

For black Max, try NS-20, or TG-21 from Madico.

w/a darker car, you can have a dark tint, cops wont spot much difference..as long as you dont make it "too bronze" mirror-like...I had to take my tint 2 times, man.

My Max is grey lustre with the light grey interior. Wanted tinting to deflect some of the hot NM sun.

Is window tint illegal?

Depends upon the state and what windows are tinted.

Here in NJ it's legal to apply tint on the rear passenger windows
and the back window. No tint is allowed in the windshield and front
windows.

Yep, you gotta look out the front window when making a left-hand turn. But, you get used to it!

whatever u do...

i suggest going the same all around...i wasnt on the org then but nobody else gave me tips about tinting when i got it done....my rear tint is mirror-like [dunno, platinum?] and u couldnt see through head on if u wanted to, even w/ a light, it juss shines back....but my front i didnt do as dark cuz of 5-0 and stuff......basic point, doesnt look as good as it could have...i say go darkest and try not to get pulled over...cop rolls by, turn on the dome light and pretend like ur reading directions....

Again, standards differ from state-to-state. In MD, the home of 35%, I'm not going to risk again... I'll put on 40% film that will give 35% total..btw I heard cops cant pull you over just for having a dark tint..has to be smthg else..I had a tinted rear tag cover.
